The problem isn't exclusively Facebook. It's a problem with spam filtering and the dangers of false positives.

> Job openings should be emailed to you directly

This scenario happened to me: I emailed my resume to a company. The company later emailed me back a few months later, asking me to come in to an interview. However, that email landed in my spam folder.

I just happened to check my spam folder and not click "Delete All" as I usually do.

I owe my entire professional career to this one lucky instance. Today, I check all my spam. I don't care how good Gmail's (or whoever's) spam filter is. One wrongly filtered message can have serious impact.
